Snap Links

Description

Hold the left mouse button to select multiple links by drawing a selection rectangle around them, releasing the button will open them in background tabs.Shortcuts:-Hold the Ctrl or Alt key to open the links in a Stack.-Bigger links have priority over smaller/nested links, hold the Shift key to select all links inside the rectangle.

Text selection has priority over the extension behavior, so draw the rectangle in an empty area.

Copying the links to the clipboard will be added after Opera implements the Clipboard API [ Probably on Opera 12.1/12.5 :) ]

For any questions or suggestions visit the support page.

This is a port of an UserJS made by Ayush, you can find it in the Opera UserJS forum:http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=206662

Known Issues:-Closing tabs opened in the background will activate the last active tab even if you have selected "Activate the next tab" the from Preferences->Advanced->Tabs->When closing a tab, this is an Opera bug (DSK-327967)-New tabs doesn't keep the zoom level (DSK-333113)-New tabs are opened with focus on address bar (DSK-365038)-New tabs are always created at the end of the tab bar, even if "Open new tab next to active" is checked (DSK-366525)

On a private window on a link on a forum (in a not private window I have the same forum logged in, in the private windows I'm not logged)> if I click normally with mouse wheel: new private tab is opened in which I'm not logged in; if I use the addon: new private tab is opened but I'm logged in!It's really private this way? It's odd, I think you should investigate.

Great extension! BUT, after I upgrade OPERA to 12.10 (all usb-install mode), configurations for all extensions CANNOT be saved after I reboot WINDOWS XP, and can be saved after I reboot OPERA without reboot XP. I have checked that when I disabled SNAP LINKS, configurations for all extensions can be saved as normal and everything goes OK.

Hi, great extension. Just one suggestion. I normally view web pages using 200% zoom due to my big screen. When opening links with your extension, they are opened using default 100% zoom. Could be possible to be opened using the current zoom level? Thanks!

I checked 'open links background' in 'snap link'.When I draw a rectangular on webpage, it opens some links in background. BUT, before installed this addon, when I close the 2nd one, it should cycle to the 3rd one; after installed this addon, when I close the 2nd one, it cycle to the 1st one. So I guess it changed some tabs cycle settings. I hope it should leave these settings unchanged.

Usually extension works great, but when used with rssLounge (AJAX app), there are 2 problems: - I need to refresh, to snap links one more time - if I scroll page when I'm snapping links, then not all links are getting snapped (looks randomly to me).

I know, that rssLounge isn't popular app, and it's not easy to install, so I know, that it's a longshot to asking you to repair this. But I'm willing to help you anyway I can.

Unfortunately no because the problem is from Opera and not from my extension.If you make an extension that uses the Windows and Tabs API you'll see the same issues.I reported every bug and asked for a fix in the dev channel and the desktop team blog but so far I got no answers :(

It worked fine with the previous version (11.64), but in 12.00 the problem is, when i open links with SnapLinks, new tabs open up fine, but the url of each page is selected in the address bar. If I try to switch between pages with 1, 2, I can't because it overwrites the selection with the pressed keys.

New bug in Snap Links ver1.8. New Tabs won't come out with the user setting scale (like 180%). Always opened with scale 100% :(. It works in the last version 1.7. May fix the problem? Or where to change the setting? thx!! Both ver1.8 1.7 are work on opera 12.00.

Hi, could you please add this funcional: ability to set delay in milliseconds when each windows opening? Because there is many sites, which, when opening many links begin to write something like "sorry, there is too much requests in a short periot of time, bla-bla-bla", nging, for example, writes 503 error.

It works fine for me in Debian and Ubuntu, can you try again with a clean profile?As far as I know you can't override the Alt + mouse drag combination from the browser but you can change it to a different key (like the windows key) if you really want to use the extension with the Alt key.

Good news: I will make an option to work with the right click.Bad news: You'll have to turn off the mouse gestures because a bug in Opera prevents to recognize when the right mouse button is released with that feature activated.

Most anchored text with a hyphen (-) will not be highlight, and therefor not opened.But, it's not consistent, so I might be wrong. There are others that don't get highlighted as well, but I don't see why. Most of my use/testing is on IP.Board 3.2.x, so it might be isolated to that particular web software.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8750922/Photos/Screenshotty.2011-08-15.140220.pngHere is a screenshot of 2 links that don't get highlighted (the first link in pic wasn't highlighting, contains a hyphen, but is not highlighting again). Sorry for redacting the info, but I tried to leave as much as possible without leaving too much info. Hopefully it's enough to see what the problem is, otherwise I will find a way to narrow it down.

Right after having used this great extension with ALT key setting, the Opera menu gets active (File menu), just like when you usually press ALT key.Perhaps it could be a good idea to cancel the ALT key behaviour after this extension use with ALT ?

I had the same problem, but I figured out it was from highlighting the new post indicator (which has a clickable link as well) as well as the subject of a topic, so it was opening them twice. Try to select just AFTER the new post indicator (little image) to prevent this.

I originally installed it with the previous version of Opera (10 something or other) and it worked fine, but when I updated to 11 it no longer works.

The box does continue to highling the links, but they do not pop up. Messing around with the settings doesn't work. Warning, if you need Snap Links for anything DO NO update to Opera 11 until this bug has been worked out!

can it be made, that it will not render its marks when just dragging ibjects ?for example http://cross-browser.com/x/examples/xfenster-demo.phpdrag the windowlets - and the extension almost gets in the wayat least it makes the page look poorly
